Hi. It’s is time to paint my 6 Eldar Jet Bikers because I with them all the time them and they look stupid as man less and grey bikes .
I don’t fancy the old drivers and I converted this one using bits from Eldar Guardians and Dire Avengers. The color scheme will be similar to my Wraithlord with few changes. I’m planning to paint freehands on all Jetbikes. Stay tuned for more.

Hi.Almost one year ago I've started to collect my SM army. I've an idea to have drop pods instead of the Rhinos. The most important thing was that I wanted to have a 'real' looking pods, which wasn't an easy thing because of the lack of drop pods in real life. There was only one pod in SM codex (White Scars), which looked quite nice, but my idea was to push weathering and battle damage to the next level. With the brush and paints I've started to develop my pods. In this tutorial I'll only write about 'rusty gold' because many people ask me how have I done it.

All products came from Games Workshop range. Of course you could paint it with Vallejo etc. It's up to you. :)

In one of the GW books there was introduction to the stipping method and looking at my effect I must admit that it's the same method. I've prepared this tutorial while painting my Razorbacks, but the method could be adapted to any model. Especially for tanks and pods. ;)

After the basecoating with Chaos Black spray I've mix Shining Gold and Scorched Brown 1:1 and cover the whole area. Large Brush was used. Next step is to give two coats of Devlan Mud Wash on the entire area. On the bottom of the elements and in all recesses you can also put some Badab Black wash.

When all of the washes dry we can go further with our painting. Now the entire process will go very fast. Take a little bit of Shining Gold paint on Medium Drybrush brush and leave almost all of the paint on the paper. Instead you can just drybrush the paint on the paper. Same method.

When you got almost dry brush start to stipple paint on the element. Leave some space of the clear area to achieve good looking finished effect.

Next step is mix Shining Gold with Mithril Silver 3:1 and follow the same steps written before. One important difference is to begin painting with this mix at the half of the painted element and follow in the upper section.

If you like the effect you can stop here, but if you would like to give more contrast you can stipple pure Mithril Silver.

And that's it.

Stains...

In some of the cases it's good to add stains. In real life it looks pretty cool on the model. ;) Look for recesses and bolts and vertically paint stains. Below you will find effect of my work while I was painting Land Raider Crusader /Reedemer.

To achieve this effect I've used following washes (in order of painting). All from the Games Workshop range.Gryphonne SepiaOgryn FleshDevlan MudBadab Black

That's all from me. Thank you for reading and sorry for my bad english. I hope that this tutorial will help people to achive similar of better 'rusty' effect.

Since the born of my son I've less time to paint my minis, but this was a very good weekend. I manage my time to finish my forth Death Company member plus I almost finished bases for D.C. This week I'll try to finish the last guy from the squad so stay tuned! ;)

I finally manage some time to paint another member of my Death Company. There's only two left and the whole squad of ten men will be completed. I'll try to finish these guys till the end of the month.

During painting of this miniature I've try few new things. One of them, on which I'm very proud of, is the parchment on the left shoulder pad and purity seal. Below you will find paints which I have used to paint it.

The whole model was painted with 1:1 mix of the Chaos Black and Regal Blue. Then on the parchment I've used Dheneb Stone Citadel Foundation paint. Afterwards in the recesses I've put watered down Khemri Brown Citadel Foundation paint to give the evect of the shadow. The last two coats (highlights) was: Bleached Bone and Skull White. That's al for today. ;)

Yesterday I have finished my latest project. It was a mini I bought because I wanted to collect Space Marines but Eldar are to much fun to play and this guy is the only thing that I have from that attempt hehe. I had much fun painting him but much more fun in modeling the base. The wooden base was bought in Casto as a peace of a stairway and the razor wire was hand made. I hope u like him.

This mini was painted with an intention to sell him on Ebay so stay tuned for an auction.

Any comments are welcome and be sure to look and him on my CoMoN gallery for more photos.

Tomorrow I will make a display base with a socket and this guy will be complete. This Sunday I will make better photos of the finished miniature so stay tuned.

Hello!
After watching spider men few months ago I thought I'd like to sculpt sth simillar to venom. I beggined to sculpt but then I had a few months break;)
today I found that old wip and thought I may finish it:)
Here's how it looks right now

My seventh member for the ten-men-squad have been painted today morning. Base and back pack will be added after I finish the rest of the guys. It goes very, very slowly. Unfortunately I don't have enought time to paint after my regular job. Furthermore after 4p.m. it's very hot in my flat... I'm only hoping that I'll be able to finish my squad till end of the June. Next month is Baal time! Three tanks at-once. This will be a very good challenge. ;)

Last week I've visit local store in Opole and I've discovered Blood Angels Honour Guard box. I wasn't sure about the contains, but I've purchased it anyway. It's almost a regular Assault Squad with few metal parts:- techmarine body + right head + head- apothecary / sanguinary priest- banner- sergeant head and power weapon- plasma gun.

Price was low so I'm very satisfied with my latest purchase. They also got Baal's (first and second edition) but the new model looks totally superb.

Nowadays the first Baal looks a little bit... trashy. Maybe in the future I will buy it, but it isn't on my list of priorities.

Gimiak here, again...The last two weeks I didn't post anything because of my vacational trip. During that time I was unable to paint anything. Unfortunately. I've started cleaning my three assault squads for my Blood Angels army. Some time ago I purchased small (3x1 mm) magnets for my shop and I've used them on my models. I love to paint but 6 assault squads, even for me, is a hard cookie. Therefore I decided to make three squads with option to switch backpacks to jump packs. Two small magnets works great and are able to hold those packs.

Additionally thanks to new kits I was able to create totally unique assault squads. Below you will find one of the sergeants with very 'hot' pistol, power fist and jump pack from Sanguinary Guards. These jump packs look pretty cool without wings.

I made a small break during my painting session with Lizardmen Skinks and started with second fifth of my Death Company. I have used airbrush to paint the first layer (Chaos Black and Regal Blue 1:1 mix). It's still in the initial phase, but I'm really satisfied with result which I have achieved.
